“…This type of meta-analysis comprised four studies [ 26 , 33 , 35 , 40 ]. According to the pooled meta-regression analysis, unintended pregnancy had a statistically significant correlation with induced abortion (AOR = 9.51, 95% CI: 3.31–27.34) ( Fig 6 ).…”

Background One of the main factors contributing to maternal morbidity and mortality is induced abortion. The WHO estimates that over 44 million induced abortions take place annually around the world. The majority of these abortions—about 50%—are unsafe, significantly increasing maternal morbidity and contributing to 13% of maternal deaths. Thus, this review aimed to estimate the pooled prevalence of induced abortion and its associated factors in Africa. Methods To find literature on the prevalence of induced abortion and its associated factors, a thorough search of the internet databases such as PubMed/MEDLINE, African Journals Online, and Google Scholar was conducted. The data were extracted using a structured method of data collection. Software called STATA 14 was used to do the analysis. funnel plot and Egger regression test were used to evaluate potential publication bias. I2 statistics and Cochrane’s Q were used to measure the heterogeneity at a p-value < 0.05. Results 976 studies were found through a thorough search of electronic databases. Finally, 46 full-text abstract papers were included in this study. The estimated pooled prevalence of induced abortion was 16% (95% CI: 13%-19%). According to the sub-group analysis, most studies were conducted in Ethiopia, and the pooled prevalence was 19% (95% CI: 10%–30%). Similarly, the subgroup analysis by year of study showed that the prevalence of induced abortion was 39% (95% CI: 17%–64%) among studies conducted in 2019. Conclusion The results of this study thus imply that the pooled prevalence of induced abortion is higher than that of earlier studies that were published in some nations. the data from this study are needed to support reproductive and adolescent health programmers and policymakers and to formulate recommendations for future clinical practice and guidelines.

BackgroundTermination of pregnancy is one of the biggest five causes of maternal mortality in countries with low and middle incomes. Although termination of pregnancy is hazardous, its prevalence and determinates are not well studied in developing countries. Therefore, this study aims to assess the prevalence and determinants of termination of pregnancy among reproductive-age women who had a short preceding birth interval in Sub-Saharan Africa.MethodsData from the most recent Demographic and Health Surveys, which covered 21 Sub-Saharan African countries from 2015 to 2022, were used for secondary data analysis. The study used a total of 283,785 women. Stata 14 was used to analyze the data. The determinants of termination of pregnancy were determined using a multilevel mixed-effects logistic regression model. Significant factors associated with termination of pregnancy were declared significant at p-values < 0.05. The result was interpreted using the confidence interval and adjusted odds ratio. The best-fit model was determined to be the one with the highest log likelihood ratio and the lowest deviance.ResultsIn Sub-Saharan Africa, one in ten women with short birth intervals experienced pregnancy termination. Individual factors, including the sex of the preceding birth (AOR = 1.21, 95% CI: 1.05, 1.40), maternal age (AOR = 1.57, 95% CI: 1.27, 1.95), pregnancy complications (AOR = 1.28, 95% CI: 1.09, 1.49), No ANC visits (AOR = 2.29, 95% CI: 1.26, 4.14), previous cesarean section delivery (AOR = 1.74, 95% CI: 1.32, 2.30), <6 months of breastfeeding (AOR = 1.56, 95% CI: 1.35, 1.81), traditional contraception usage (AOR = 1.67, 95% CI: 1.13, 2.46), poor wealth status (AOR = 1.50, 95% CI: 1.22, 1.85), and community-level factors such as urban residence (AOR = 1.31, 95% CI: 1.06, 1.62) had higher odds of pregnancy termination.ConclusionsThis study concludes that termination of pregnancy rates among women with short preceding birth interval is high. The study identified that both individual and community-level variables were determinants of termination of pregnancy. Therefore, the ministries of health in Sub-Saharan African countries should give attention to those women who underutilize antenatal care services and to women from urban areas while designing policies and strategies targeting reducing termination of pregnancy rates.
